Greek Language & Culture trip in Athens
Learn Greek in Athens and explore the city and its daily life without “tourist filters”
What you do:
✓ Daily Greek classes with focus on speaking & listening and daily afternoon outdoor activities (20-25 hours)
✓ Exclusive, small group format
✓ Exploration walks to significant locations in the centre of Athens & surrounding neighbourhoods
✓ Meal with our group
✓ Cultural activities & recommendations: festivals, concerts, exhibitions etc.
What you see:
Aside from our daily classes, we take learning outside in our walks and visits to significant locations or “hidden gems”, and cultural spaces & museums where the present and the past of Athens is interconnected. You learn about Athens as the capital of modern Greece, and find out about its history, architecture, important figures, daily culture and more. You also join and have fun with our small group over drinks & super tasty dishes in my favourite old-school restaurant for our meal together. Every trip is different and includes seasonal and current events in the city.
These trips are also planned with current issues of gentrification in mind: with respect to the history of the downtown area, the daily life of the locals and the small local businesses which have been around for decades.
Expect to enjoy your time in Athens to the fullest! Let me share with you the downtown Athens I know and love my whole life, while helping you improve your Greek with a strong, well-rounded language program for passionate Greek learners.

Who’s your teacher?
Γεια σας! I’m Danae Florou and I’ve been teaching the Greek language as a second/foreign language since 2003.
After my graduation in 2005 from the Department of Greek language & Literature at the University of Thrace, Greece, I earned my MEd in Second Language Education at the University of Toronto. My teaching approach is calm, friendly and inclusive. When you learn with me, you’re always encouraged in a gentle & supportive way, and you’re always valued for the knowledge & experience you bring.
In the Athens program, as in my online classes, you are warmly welcomed! As a born and raised Athenian, I can’t wait to re-discover Athens with you and show you the 1000 ways you can fall in love with this unique city!
